Using carved planks and curved sections of trees that he felled himself, Tom Doyle constructed handsome, tripodal forms that vary from tabletop models to nearly eleven-foot-tall sculptures. Four of the 13 were displayed attached to the walls at eye level, but the freestanding sculptures held the most potency. The larger works resemble the bones of a long-dead vertebrate, but at the same time the elegance of their compositions make them seem animated.

"Jane McAdam Freud has never seen a shrink. But as an artist and the great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud, she has plenty to say about theories of the unconscious that have shaped our understanding of the human condition for more than a century.
Freudian theory has long been used as a tool to process modern art, but few artists have consciously created an oeuvre specifically about Sigmund Freud's work - certainly not an artist of the same bloodline. Ms. McAdam Freud's new collection, "Random Plus," explores theories of the unconscious, dream analysis, sexuality and repeated experiences using a vast collection of multimedia pieces fashioned from bronze, clay and copper."
